Hillary Clinton gets serious

A week before the Iowa caucuses, Clinton's "Big Problems, Real Solutions" tour reminds voters the world is dangerous -- a message tragically reinforced by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

    How Many Strikes Does Hillary GET!

    It is a dangerous world. And, in the most important Policy Decision of our times, the Iraq War, a catalyst which helped to escalate this danger, Hillary Clinton got it WRONG! -- STRIKE ONE!

    Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton was the only Democratic candidate who voted for a resolution sponsored by Senator Leiberman, allowing President Bush to list the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, which would most likely alienate regular Iranian people and allow Bush to declare war on Iran. -- STRIKE TWO!

    And, Hillary Clinton never apologized or took any responsibilty for her vote on the Iraq War. -- STRIKE THREE.

    And as Benazir Bhutto stated, they (Middle Eastern Men) do not respect women in power. Sadly, the male leaders in the Middle East are sexist and do not respect the words of a woman or a woman's ability to lead. I do not believe Hillary Clinton will have the stature or respect to effectively bring about the changes we so desparately and necessarily need at this time.
